common fault whatever it is,still waiting for it to go completely, i am convinced it is the fip, but could be no4 injector, ain't replacing pump til i really have to.

but are you sure you have not got a faulty one,i have heard at least 6 that as soon as they throttle off they sound as tho it is running on 5.

yep big job and expensive on either engine,way forward imo would be to drop in another complete engine. that is what i would do, first port of call tho is to establish what has happened before doing any unnecessary work, could be something simple or major,don't rule out clutch failure, try...

i got in mine through the sunroof, and used a long stick to press the window down button:)

yes but it still has moving parts which wear, electronics which have no moving parts, but still deteriote over time,are these parts able to be changed or is it a cheaper option to replace the pump? the mechanical parts can they be replaced? are there people out there who will supply these parts...

well it seems this is common to more than just my p38,all the ones i have heard when they throttle off it runs on 5 cylinders,sounds like a bag of ****, must be a fuel saver,were these the first to drop cylinders,must record it as for a modern vehicle what a step back just need the moggy mionor...

yes there must be a way of adjusting the fip, however i would not be happy to do this, damn things are temperamental at the best of times without any help,why can't the pump be adjusted? only option i have had is to replace the pump,why should that be,when most pumps can be adjusted why should...

that does make sense,will have a good look over the weekend,will be checking diffs,vcu all bolts props every moving part,even the rear shocks. i don't suppose these vcu's are super cheap? i bet they are around £20, or could that be lots of £20 notes.

tracking has been done,always goes the same way, will have it up in the air the weekend.

i have searched the forum but cannot find the answer,could it be a problem with the vcu? or a definate fault,tyre pressures ok,once it starts to lose the back end it is unretreivable it just comes round.

3 inches so far just outside of banbury,no more forecast yet,but no doubt will get more.

trust me 8cm around banbury causes absolute chaos, we have 2 inches now! the night is still young, hope to have more overnight.

about time too,this is where it becomes obvious why i bought this vehicle,although only 8 centimetres so far, without being careless it drove as though it was in normal conditions,hope to put on some pics soon. this is what it is all about.

yes valeo is oem,but would not fancy fitting it again,bad enough doing it once so from my own experience will go for luk.

bloody heavy gearbox,not a thing i could do,need about 4 guys,lots of tea and biscuits,and if it is a real struggle some alcohol helps :D make sur you check the dual mass flywheel,and from experience keep away from valeo clutch kits as mine failed in less than 500 miles. luk is what i shall put...

yep this has been looked into and is absolute bollocks,same as those lead balls in the tank, only way is to change your driving technique, become mr lightfoot some additives can help,some don't do ****! can't beat regular servicing and just looking after it. check tyre pressures regular,check...

it is worth dropping the fuel tank, on dropping mine i found the strap that holds the tank was starting to rot so i cut out the rot and welded in new metal,worth taking the tank off anyway to clean it out,and flush or blow through fuel lines, i took off the return pipe and the fuel pipe at the...

didn't know they could last so long

are you a garage or d.i.y?

could be a faulty fob, you have just the one fob? i am not keen on entering the eka code too many times.
